It's Her Factory EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Roja Dove's Chypré Extraordinaire is an utterly gorgeous, complex chypre that divides opinion. Some laud it as a masterpiece, while others are left cold by its hefty price tag and perceived lack of originality or performance for the cost. Worth a shot if you're not paying the full whack.
It's Her Factory is a soft, powdery aldehydic floral from indie British house 4160 Tuesdays - perfumer Sarah McCartney's tribute to the women who worked in wartime factories. A vintage-feeling orris and rose blend on a quiet leather-and-oakmoss base, elegant and a little nostalgic.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its rich and complex profile, Chypré Extraordinaire leans towards more dressed-up occasions. While some found its projection moderate, its luxurious feel suits formal events and intimate dates over casual or sporty settings.
Seasons
The powdery orris-and-rose heart over a dry leather, oakmoss and vetiver base reads best in cooler weather, working through autumn, winter and the softer end of spring; the aldehydic lift keeps it from feeling heavy, but it lacks the freshness for high summer.
Occasions
Its soft projection and refined, vintage-floral character make it a natural office and casual everyday scent, with enough elegance for formal cool-weather wear. The quiet, skin-close sillage suits intimate date settings more than crowds, and it has no place in sport.
